Gay Rehoboth Beach

Rehoboth Beach is Delaware's premier coastal destination. It's a classic American beach town charm that has attracted visitors for over a century. This mile-long stretch of pristine Atlantic coastline combines old-fashioned boardwalk nostalgia with nightlife and bars that rival any East Coast beach destination.

What truly sets Rehoboth Beach apart is its longstanding reputation as one of the Mid-Atlantic's most welcoming LGBTQ+ destinations, earning it the affectionate nickname "the Nation's Summer Capital" among gay travelers from Washington D.C., Baltimore, and beyond. The town's inclusive atmosphere dates back decades, with numerous gay-owned businesses, restaurants, and accommodations creating a naturally welcoming environment where same-sex couples feel completely comfortable holding hands on the beach or dining at outdoor cafés. Be warned that consuming alcohol is banned on the beach - being gay on the beach is fine, though.
